  • Paul Signac. Authentication, certificates of...

    Rated Dec 20 • 1 review • painting, impressionism, art • artexpertswebsite.com



    An Impressionist and founding member of the Divisionists, Paul Signac was also a leader in the use of Pointilism. Head of the Neo-Impressionists after the death of Georges Seurat, Signac utilized science to create his paintings and knew the importance of light and structure.




    While Signac is well-known for paving the frontier for Pointillism, what many don't realize is that Signac was a prolific sketcher, and did etches, lithographs, watercolors and many pen and ink compositions. Signac left behind a number of watercolors of seascapes, many of them being of famous ports like Marseille, Istanbul and Venice. This was inspired by Signac's love of the sea, as he was an avid sailor. Through his journeys, Signac was able to collect vibrant colors from all over the Mediterranean and it reflected in his work.

    I saw this and several others by him at the Pinacoteca do Estado de SÃÃ,Ã,Ã,£o Paulo. Incredible handling of light and capturing emotions.











    Saudada

    Saudade (singular) or saudades (plural) (pronounced [sawÃ<^dadè] in European Portuguese, [sawÃ<^dadÊ'i] or [sawÃ<^dadi] in Brazilian Portuguese, [sawÃ<^dade] in Galician and [soÃ<^dad(i)] in Cape Verdean Creole) is a Portuguese and Galician word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return.

    For its use in Brazilian Portuguese Saudade could be better translated as longing or nostalgia.

    Saudade has been described as a "vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist ... a turning towards the past or towards the future".[1] A stronger form of saudade may be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing. It may also be translated as a deep longing or yearning for something which does not exist or is unattainable.

    Saudade was once described as "the love that remains" or "the love that stays" after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again. It can be described as an emptiness, like something or someone that should be there in a particular moment is missing, and the individual feels this absence. In Portuguese, 'Tenho Saudades Tuas', translated as 'I have Saudades of you' means 'I miss you'.

    SOUNDINGS series


    SOUNDINGS: is the newest series of Riverscapes playing with the idea of sonic underwater imaging of topography, trade winds, seasonal flows and benthic mapping of the Hudson River bottom. Think of visualizing the unseen river bottom as a landscape. Most of the titles for these paintings come from the weather and depth measurements journal written by Robert Juet who sailed on the ship The Half Moon in 1609 with Henry Hudson during its historic explorations of Americas First River. We are about to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the exploration of the Hudson River. My hope is that these works will help get the public thinking about the Hudson as something living and continue to help in it's cleanup. The beauty of the river is not just on the surface. There is a whole world to explore beneath the surface too. "
